Hi all, soon we will be mini owners. My question is on the cooper S is the dead pedal removable? Thanks

 

Why, Why, Why...would you want to remove the dead pedal?

 

Yes it is removable... You will need to pry off the cover (the part that looks like a pedal). I use small flat bladed screw drivers - 2 of them - to work all the snap clips loose. Next reomve the two 10mm nuts... All you are left with is two studs sticking out of the carpet...

What you do from there??? I am curious...

 

Sorry to get your curiousity up when you hear what a boring answer I have for all of you, I have a bad left knee that "locks" up if I keep it bent for a period of time, I have to be able to extend my leg out all of the way to straighten it out and "unlock" it. We test drove a Mini that wasn't a S the other day and this vehicle didn't have a protruding dead pedal and of course I haven't be able to test drive any S's and from pics I've seen it looks like there is a dead pedal. My husband absolutely wants a S, I really don't care to much either way just that I know that I can comfortably drive the non S without any knee problems. So I was curious about it and trying to search online for any pics of the dead pedal to see just how bad it is. Thanks for the replies, I am researching the car as much as possible and this site seems to be a hoot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I've driven both the MCS and MC and they are exactly the same from the drivers seat as far as all the seating dimesions are concerned. I drive a MC ragtop and I find the headroom in a coupe with the sunroof a little short, but then I stand 6'3". Leg room, hip room, shoulder room is the same as far as I can tell.
